Installing BitLocker again after a long time without it.
OK, I'm about to make BitLocker functional again on my PC.
I have Win7 Ultimate, a new [Now 4 yrs old] ASUS mother board and the same Infineon TPM card used on the earlier BitLocker/MoBo install. I did not use the Infineon software for the prior install, but am trying to do so now. I had implemented the earlier install through the Control Pannel. While using the Infineon Software wizard, I am prompted for a user password. It wants either the pass to be typed in or to be pointed to a PW backup file. I try to offer up a new PW. It will not accept a new PW. I'm thinking the Infineon card has a PW from the old install in it, and wants that. I have nothing left from the older install. If I'm right, how do I reinitialize the TPM card to get me back to square 1? If I'm wrong, what am I doing wrong? EDIT:I went into the BIOS and mad a TPM Clear operation. Saved and exited with no apparent effect on restart. Should I make other changes in the BIOS, or elsewhere? |

OK, got it figured out.
Ran tpm.msc and reset the TPM during a reboot. Then entered a new Owner Password. It was accepted. The rest of the process should go smoothly. If not, I'll be back. |

First Time Poster, Long Time Reader... I just joined because I wanted to ask a question or so. I completed A+ training early last year. Before that, I had experience with PC's going back to Windows 3.1, so installing OS or even building PC's is not an issue but as always you don't know all the answers. I previously searched this... |

Recycling a movie from my harddrive is taking long long time. Why is this. Like 10 minutes plus and it still says recycling. It should only take a second. Is it bad to let it continue at its own pace or should I restart the PC and try it again? |
